Forms of Truth: Rising Non-Fiction Filmmakers
Tuesday 27 January 2026
6:30 pm at ICA, London
Discover the next wave of documentary filmmakers at this gathering of bold, boundary-pushing non-fiction storytelling. Join us for an evening of standout films from four rising artists, followed by an in-depth conversation led by Lindsay Poulton, Editorial Director of Film & TV and Head of Documentaries at The Guardian.
The films from visionary artists introduce sharp contemporary perspectives, illuminating the evolving landscape and compelling future of documentary film.
The featured artists will be announced in January 2026.
The artists have been selected by leading industry figures: Asif Kapadia (Filmmaker), Danny Leigh (Chief Film Critic, Financial Times), and Lindsay Poulton (The Guardian). The recipient of the £20,000 Arts Foundation Film Fellowship will be announced at an awards ceremony in February.
Presented as part of London Short Film Festival.
